Denzel Washington, admirable!

I feel sorry for black Americans! The United States has always advertised its own country as a free and democratic country, but judging from the unfair treatment of black Americans in the United States, it is very rare for Denzel Washington to be crowned as the Oscar winner. The hard work he put in can be imagined! After watching this "The Great Debater", I was thinking, why don't we in China have these films and TV works that reflect social malpractice and so on that can be released to the public? Does it mean that we do not have social problems or social system problems? On the other hand, I personally think that in some aspects, such as accepting negative voices, the United States still has something to learn from.

Don't think of it as an inspirational movie, it's a waste of a good movie. Why is Harvard the best university in the world? Why does the US have the best universities in the world? Why does America attract the best people in the world? The answer is here, freedom, equality, democracy, tolerance, no matter how dark times, no matter how unsatisfactory the status quo, these will always be engraved in people's hearts forever. And that's what we lack.

Don't expect the government or institution to solve any major problems. All social changes come from the passion of individuals.
